Good morning, Spartanburg.

At 10 p.m. Saturday night, Trinity Fire Department responded to a call in Woodruff when a tin barn on Dwight Scott Road burned and firefighters found a detached garage that the fire had spread to a two-story house — they requested extra engines and a ladder truck.

A 17-year-old from Duncan, Nathaniel Fredericks, was shot and pronounced dead at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center at 2:47 a.m. after being brought in from Peachwood Center Drive in Spartanburg—an autopsy is scheduled for today.

An intoxicated man identified as Zachary Hughes was arrested after a gun fired when he flagged down a Spartanburg officer on East Main Street early Sunday morning and led the officer to his vehicle after being kicked out of a local bar—he faces charges of public disorderly conduct, discharging a firearm in city limits, and using a firearm while intoxicated.

On June 16, Spartanburg County Council cut $103,000 from the sheriff’s helicopter program because leaders said former Sheriff Chuck Wright misused the equipment — officials explained that a half-million-dollar repair cost and missing features like a working night vision system led to the decision. Interim Sheriff Jeffery Stephens said the budget cut will pause extra spending until the program meets law enforcement needs.

On Saturday evening, the Spartanburgers took an early lead when Keith Jones II hit a first-pitch home run, but Bowling Green came back with seven unanswered runs to win 7-1.

T.J. Nichols struck out nine and Mason Molina pitched four innings—errors by the Spartanburgers helped give Bowling Green the win.

Riverside defensive back Somad Eaddy—ranked as the state’s No. 17 recruit for 2026—committed to Wake Forest on June 22, saying he felt at home after turning down offers from six power conference schools.
